Railfanning in Orange and San Diego Counties Holiday Express Edition!

Here is the Holiday Express Edition of Railfanning in both Orange County and San Diego County. Here are various locations that are Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, San Onofre, and finally Carlsbad Village. This train action is of the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, Metrolink Inland Empire and Orange County Line, and NCTD Coaster. There are a bit of hornshows in this video as well. There are lots of EMD F125 Spirit and Siemens Mobility SC-44 Charger action while there also is a MPI MP36PH-3C featured as well. The MP36PH-3C unit featured is SCAX 889 which is an older locomotive but it had operation issues which caused it to be 40+ Minutes late. The PTC Sticker Cabcar is also featured in this video as well. Also please bear with me since I personally wasn’t able to film one train as I was headed up towards Carlsbad from San Onofre. This was taken on December 13,2025. I hope you enjoy this video.
